12 T-xxx Transducer Assembly Upgrade Kit Instructions
1 Introduction
1.1 General information of this document
Welcome to the Daniel 3410 and Mark III Series Ultrasonic meter upgrade manual for T-xxx
transducers.
This manual has been designed to provide you with a step-by-step set of instructions for
upgrading a Daniel Gas Ultrasonic meter with T-xxx series transducers.
NOTICE
Please read the Before you begin section to ensure you have all the components necessary
to perform the upgrade before taking the meter out of service.
1.2 Before you begin
This section shows all the parts and tools required to perform the upgrade. Ensure that all
these items are available before taking the meter out of service.
1.2.1
Required parts
Ensure that you have received the T-xxx Series upgrade kit. The kit will include:
1. Assembled T-xxx transducer assemblies.
2. Hard copy of a Zero Flow Calibration report including the lengths and serial
numbers of all the components of the T-xxx transducer assemblies.
3. USB flash drive containing:
a. Electronic copy of the Excel Zero Flow Calibration report, which can be
imported into the Transducer Swap-Out wizard in MeterLink
™
and written
into the meter’s configuration to eliminate manual entry of these values.
b. Latest production firmware for Mark III electronics and 3410 electronics.
c. MeterLink PC software installation file that supports T-xxx transducers.
Instructions manual Introduction
P/N DAN-20062338 June 2019
Instructions manual 13
Note
The T-xxx upgrade kits only work with ANSI 1500 and lower pressure class meters
designed for J, K, Y, or Z mounts. This nomenclature is marked on the side of the mount
itself (for example, J00, J25, J50, J75). If the mounts are marked with another letter (for
example, M, P, U), then the upgrade kit will not work for the meter. Contact Daniel
Customer Support for other options.
1.2.2 Required tools and supplies
1. Torque wrench (adjustable to 35 ft.-lbs.)
2. 5/16” hex bit socket for torque wrench
3. Ethernet or Serial cable for connecting a laptop with MeterLink to the meter
4. Molykote 111 or similar O-ring lubricant
1.2.3
Before removing the meter from service
Procedure
1. Install the latest version of MeterLink on your computer.
The latest version at the time the upgrade kit was assembled is on the included USB
flash drive.
Note
The Daniel MeterLink installation program is available for download from the Daniel
Measurement and Control, Inc. website: https://www.emerson.com/en-us/catalog/
daniel-meterlink.
Note
MeterLink versions starting with 1.60 support T-XXX transducers.
2. Make sure you can connect MeterLink to the meter.
3. Check the firmware version in the meter using the Meter Information dialog under
the Meter pull-down menu. The minimum firmware versions supported are noted
below. Daniel recommends if the USB flash drive contains a more recent firmware
version, upgrade the meter to the latest version before proceeding.
a) For Mark III electronics, version 1.82 or later firmware supports T-xxx
transducers.
b) For 3410 electronics, version 1.42 or later firmware supports T-xxx
transducers.
4. Using Edit/Compare Configuration from the Tools pull-down menu, read and save
the configuration to file.
5. Using Maintenance Log, take a two-minute maintenance log to have a record how
the meter was performing prior to the upgrade.
6. Open the Transducer Swap-Out wizard from the Tools pull-down menu.
• If you receive the message: This meter supports the Transducer
Swap-Out using zero flow calibration, but it has not

previously been entered, you need to make sure you have the meter
housing lengths for each chord of the meter body.
The meter housing lengths for the body are stamped on a metal tag (values are
labeled BODY FACE TO FACE) attached to the meter body and can also be
obtained from an original Zero Flow Report that was generated when the meter
was first assembled.
Figure 1-1: Metrology Tag
If you cannot get the values from the tag and you do not have the original Zero
Flow Report or CMM report, contact Customer Service and they can provide this
information for you.
Important
Make sure to have the meter body serial number available before contacting
support.
• If you did not receive the message above when opening the Transducer Swap-
Out wizard, make sure the Meter Housing chord lengths are not zero in the
dialog or you will need to locate the meter housing chord lengths.
7. Once you have this information, you can proceed with the upgrade.

2 Removing the T-xx transducers
2.1 Remove the meter from service
Procedure
1. Follow all company procedures and safe practices to remove the meter from
service. The meter must be fully vented to the atmosphere prior to proceeding with
the next section.
2. While the transducer cabling is all intrinsically safe, it is still recommended to
remove power from the meter before beginning the upgrade as an additional level
of safety.
WARNING
FLUID CONTENTS MAY BE UNDER PRESSURE
When the meter is under pressure, DO NOT attempt to remove or adjust the
transducer holder.
Attempting to do so may release pressurized gas or fluid, resulting in serious
injury or equipment damage.
CAUTION
ESCAPING GASES OR FLUIDS HAZARD
The purchaser of the meter is responsible for the selection of Daniel components/
seals and materials compatible with the chemical properties of gas flow
measurement.
Failure to select the suitable meter component/seals may cause escaping gases or
liquids, resulting in injury or equipment damage.
2.2 Remove the T-xx transducers
Procedure
1. Remove the transducer cables from the back of the transducers.
a) For meters with standard chordsets, unthread the cable nut by hand and
remove the transducer chordset.

b) For meters with red mini chordsets, remove the transducer chordset by
removing the two hitch pins securing it to the back of the transducer. Once
the hitch pins are removed, pull the chordset away from the transducer.

2. Use the 5/16” Allen wrench to remove the four to six mount bolts holding each
mount in place. Keep the bolts clean and together because they are used to attach
the new T-xxx transducers to the meter body.
3. Pull all the transducer assembles off the meter body and set them aside.
4. Use a cloth to wipe out the transducer ports, especially the surface to which the
transducer mount O-ring mated. Visually check the ports to make sure they are free
of debris as well. Clean as needed.
